And, still more.

A few more pics from the parade.

A pic of the M113 ACAV lined up for the parade.

The gathering of the participants in the early morning. I will post pics of the parade in the next couple of days as they come in from the Vietnam Veterans post photographer. I was much too busy all morning to gather more pics. I have only one pic of my new M931 but it is a nice truck.

Arrived finally and now it is in line at the meeting point.

On the way!!!

The semi is on the way to pick up the M113 ACAV and will return around 3pm local time. I will post some pics of the arrival.

Boots said to tell you he was very happy you folks are coming again this year. We will be waiting.

Just from the pics you sent, the TM's and one pillow bearing we came unbelievably close! I will take the prototypes to the office to compare with the bracket I got yesterday. Sometimes by guess and by God comes really close. I am going to the tractor house tomorrow to see if I can get a...

What is all that white stuff???

My nos replacement U-Joints and yokes for the M135/M211 drive line. The first is the yoke for the winch end of the drive chain. It has two holes for the shear pin and no key. The second is the PTO end of the drive train with the keyed threaded bolt hole. If you are working on a G749 winch...

I located a former fire service M135 W/W one day before it was to be scrapped. I managed to save the entire winch drive line. The winch was cracked at the bottom of the alloy cover, the shear pin sheared off and no pillow bearing shield was present. The pictures of the front drive shaft...

Just a bump to remind everyone of the coming event on April 14. I have been told a total of 20 recipients are coming this year. The oldest, John Finn, passed this year. Mr. Finn had been a regular attendee for several years.

Found a complete winch set up for the M135/M211 here. I will have the bracket by Saturday. I will have pillow block brackets and shields by next week. Contact me off line.

I am having the under cab floor support bracket and J-Bolt shown in Fig. 344 of TM 9-8024 duplicated. I expect to have them finished in a couple of weeks.
